Description
Ultralight dark matter (ULDM) must be bosonic, and the arguably simplest model is furnished by a scalar field that is uncharged under the Standard Model gauge group oscillating in a harmonic potential. This field will generically couple to other BSM singlet states such as sterile neutrinos or other progenitors of neutrino mass. In this talk I will discuss how interactions between ULDM and neutrinos can alter the subsequent cosmology of an ULDM candidate.
